Cable Ordering Information
Output (W/Ft.) | Nominal Voltage (Vac) | Model | Description | Wt./1000′ (Lbs.) | Chromalox Order Code |
8 | 120 | CWM 8-1C | Standard tinned-copper metallic braid for additional protection and ground path | 96 | 392139 |
CWM 8-1CT | Fluoropolymer corrosion resistant overjacket over braid for hostile or corrosive environments | 110 | 392163 |
- Twin 12 AWG Copper Buss Wires – Provide reliable, consistent electrical current
- FEP Insulation Jacket – Electrically insulates buss wires
- Pairing Jacket – Secures two buss wires together and provides wrapping surface for Nichrome wire
- Nickel Chromium Wire – Cable heating component
- FEP Insulation – Rugged outer sheath protects heating cable, assures longer service life, and provides protection against environmental application hazards
- Tinned Copper Braid – Plated copper braid increases robust construction, provides ground path and provides additional protection in any location (suffix “C” in model number)
- FEP – Fluoropolymer overjacket, over the braid, provides protection from most aqueous and chemically corrosive solutions (suffix “T” in model number) – ideal for trace heating systems installed in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres
